Linux server that uses Postfix to send mail via Amazon SES. When sending email from Wordpress, the emails are rejected due to an improper Envelope From address.
How can I configure Postfix to always use myemail@mydomain.com as the Envelope From address?
I am looking for a default property I can configure and not a code based solution.
Put the following in /etc/postfix/canonical:
# Use the empty regexp to map *any* address to the desired envelope sender.
// my-fixed-envelope-sender@example.org
Append the following to /etc/postfix/main.cf:
canonical_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/canonical
canonical_classes = envelope_sender
Reload Postfix:
postfix reload
Note that this only rewrites the envelope sender (as asked), not the "From:" header. Also, if you set this on a host that receives mail from the outside world, havoc will likely ensue.
See canonical(5) and the documentation for the canonical_maps and canonical_classes options for more information.
You can also set the envelope-sender from php.
Put this in your apache vhost config if you are using mod_php:
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fyou@example.com"
Or set the value in the php.ini file (which could be server wide or per user depending on your system):
sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fyou@example.com"
this only works if the sending script uses the php mail() function.
I believe what you are looking for is the masquerade_domains setting which will go in main.cf. I am not sure what you mean by
I am looking for a default property I can configure and not a code based solution.
Please take a look at the following link:
Both questions have good answers: Change Envelope From to match From header in Postfix and how to have all postfix emails have ONE from email address
You probably want sender_canonical_maps=myemail@mydomain.com
